SPECIFICATION forming part of Letters Patent No. 289,840, dated December11, 1883.

Application filed April "1, 1888. (no model.)

Be it known that I, SAMUEL INGLING, of the city of Dowagiac, county ofCass, and State of Michigan, have invented a certain Improvement inHeating-Stoves, of which the following is a specification.

My invention relates to that class of stoves known as heatingstoves, andit consists in the general construction of parts, as hereinafter setforth.

The object of my invention is to construct a cheap stove, and soarranged that the heated air passing into the room will be drawn upthrough the vertical heating-chambers from the openings through thebottom of the stove, thus drawing the cold air from the floor andpassing it out into .the room through the perforated top in a heatedcondition; also in providing the stove with an independent draft forcombustion, so arranged by means of a damper and fiues having a centralreturnbottom connecting a back chamber of the stove that a return draftmay be obtained, for the purposes hereinafter set forth.

In order to aid others skilled in the art to which my invention belongsto make and use it, I will proceed to describe its construction andoperation with reference to the several drawings, forming a part of thisspecification, in which j Figure 1 is a longitudinal sectional view ofmy invention on line 2 of Fig. 3. Fig.2 is a view of the same having thetop broken away, being a sectional view 011,-line 3 of Fig. 3. Fig. 3 isa top view of Fig. 1 below the line 4, being a horizontal section. Fig.4 is an inverted perspective of my invention.

The interior side walls of my stove are of cast metal, and arecorrugated, as shown in Fig. 8. The walls D D extend across the bottomof the stove or fire-box R, parallel with each other and join twotransverse walls, D. The walls D D D extend from the stove-bottom R tothe top of the stove, forming the fire-box, as shown in Figs. 1 and 3.The front end wall is cut away to admit the common feed-door, as shownat cl in Figs. 2 and 3, and within the chamber formed by these walls thefuel is consumed. Passing around these walls is a cylinder or jacket, B,of sheet metal, which joins the open rim a at the base of the stove,and, extending upward, meets the top of the stove, as shown in Figs. 1,2, and 3. I make the side walls, D D, long enough to admit a properlength of wood. The front and back end walls are shorter, thus formingan oblong interior box-stove. The jacket B is made sufficiently large toencircle the fire -pot, joining it at the corners-as shownin Figs. 1 and3. The rim or bottom support of the stove is open, as shown in Figs. 3and 4, thus forming two vertical air-chambers, T T, between the verticalside walls,-D D, of the fire-box and the jacket B, through which the airis drawn from the floor passing upward, as indicated .by the arrows inFig. 1, and out into the room again through the openings S in I the topof the stove. By this arrangement the cold air is taken up from thefloor and passed out into the room in a heated condition, thus rapidlywarming the room. Below the fire-bottom B, I attach an air chamber orbox, P, which is bolted or riveted to the rim a of the stove, whichpasses across the rim at the center, (see Fig. 4,) being fitted at itsends to the circle of the rim a. (See Figs. 3 and 4'.)

I locate the common stove-door at the front end of the fire-box. Anopening in the jacket B is also made, into which it is inserted. (Seeletter 01 in Figs. 2 and 3.) Below the door, passing through the jacketand the end wall of the fire-pot, I insert a tube or cylinder,

placing over the opening upon the jacket B a common damper or register,t, as shown in Fig. 2. When the register .is open, the air passesthrough the tube, thus feeding the fire within thefire-box, and closingthe register cuts off the draft. The register is the same as now incommon use and need not be described here.

At each side of the door d, I locate a divingfiue, 0. (See Figs. 2and3.) These dues are formed by the openingbetween the fire-box wall andthe jacket B of the stove. The flues extend upward to near the top ofthe stovedoor, being a continuation of the end wall, (see Fig. 2,) andare provided with a screen or grating, (see Fig. 3,) thus preventingcinders and the like from falling down into the flues, to obstruct theair-passage. The lines 0 0,

below the damper t, merge into one, and are arranged to meet theflue-box 1?, attached 5 jacket B.

across the stove below the fire-bottom R, as clearly shown in Figs. 2and 4E. The rear end of the flue-box I joins the chamber r, formed inthe angle of the fire-box wall D and the (See Figs. 2 and 3.) Over theupper end of this chamber I locate the stovepipe thimble a". In the backwall, D, of the fire-box I locate a common damper, '0. (See Figs. 1 and2.) When the damper is turned back, as shown by dotted lines in Fig. 2,I have a direct draft through the fire and the register t and up throughthe damper opening into the pipe, and, to obtain an increase of heatwith a slow draft, the damper o is closed, as shown in Figs. 1 and 2,when the air passing through the register t rises through the fire, thenpasses down the fines O G into the air-box I, crossing under thefire-bottom B, then up through the back chamber, 1", out at the pipe, asshown by the arrows in Figs. 2 and 3. It is obvious by this arrangementof parts I have a direct current of heated air passing up through thevertical side chambers, T T, and the current of air passing upthebackchamber, 1", increases the heating capacity of the back portionof the stove-jacket B, and by this arrangement a current of hot air isdriven around, crossing the center, and up the back portion of thestove, while at the same time two currents of hot air are passing up andout into the room through the side chambers, T T, thus making arapidlyheating stove. A damper may be located over the bottom openingsor the perforated top of the stove, to regulate the draft of air up thechambers T T, and that portion of the jacket B encircling theair-passages T T may be made of spun metal, the same being plated, asthe air passing up between the jacket and the fire-box sides D D willprevent the platedmetal portion of the jacket from coloring from undueheat.

Having thus described my invention as fully as I can, what I claim asnew, and desire to secure by Letters Patent, is

1. In a heating-stove, the combination of the open base-rim a, havingthe air-box 1? attached thereto, being located parallel with and belowthe fire-box bottom R, saidQair-box joining two vertical flues, O 0,having a grated open top, said air-box I? joining a rear airchamber, 1',formed between the corrugated fire-box end D and the jacket B, with thedamper v, and draft-cylinder having register i, when arranged andcombined substantially as and for the purposes set forth.

2. In a heating-stove having the open rim base a,with air-box P,crossing the same and being located below the fire-box bottom B, saidair-box joining the vertical "iflues O O,

having screened upper ends, with the air-flue r formed in the back ofthe stove between the corrugated fire-box wall D and the sheetmetaljacket B, the interior oblong fire-box inclosed within a circularjacket, said jacket joining the rim a and the stove-top, said top havingperforations or openings S over the vertical side openings, T T, formedbetween the corrugated side walls, D D, of the fire-box and the jacketB, whereby a current of air is taken up from the floor, being dischargedin a heated condition into the room through the perforated top, thewhole being arranged and combined substantially as and for the purposesspecified.
